Open Bible Central

The Central Region of Open Bible Churches is a network of over 75 churches and over 225 ministers in MN, WI, IA, IL, MO, KS, AR, OK, and TX.

Open Bible Churches’ mission is-

“Making and releasing disciples, planting churches, and sending missionaries.”

Central Region Open Bible Churches’ strategy is to focus on the following three areas:

The Heart of the Leader
Leadership development is our foundational strategy which is vital to accomplishing the next two strategies. God calls leaders to be lifelong learners through person

al mentoring, continuing education, and accountability. The Health of the Church
Church resourcing provides opportunity to invest in local church leaders and ministries through empowering events, coaching and consultations, and walking leaders and churches through transition phases so they can grow to the next level. The Harvest of Communities
Church planting is about multiplying our mission beyond our territory. We are building a multiplication movement that will move people and resources to the areas where God opens the doors for kingdom advancement. Our regional leadership team is ready to serve our leaders and churches with coaching and consultations as well as through our conferences and leadership summits to put both feet and fire to these strategies throughout the region.

It was our joy to be at Faith United Church in Rockwell, IA, to preach and lead the business meeting. Pastors Will and Joyce Hunsaker came as lead pastors when the church affiliated with Open Bible Churches and Pastors Jake and Jamie Ditsworth came shortly thereafter to be mentored and raised up. This is Jake's home church and he was elected to begin serving as lead pastor July 1, 2026! Thank you to Will and Joyce for your leadership and for Jake and Jaime who are stepping into their new role!

Last Sunday I had the privilege of delivering the church health report to Praise Community Church in Mason City, IA. Pastor Jeff and Jani Dahlin brought their church into Open Bible and signed up for REFRESH, a ministry of Central Region to assess a church's health and to outline the steps that will improve the health of the local church. This new church to Open Bible had high health scores, but they want to go higher and further in kingdom impact!

Last Saturday was our 2026 Summit - MISSION to MULTIPLY! Our new format engaged 369 participants from 46 churches in 7 locations in 6 states. Thank you to all of the pastors and leaders and churches across Central Region who engaged in the process to listen to four sessions and then explore the next steps to multiplying disciples, leaders, and churches. We are praying for each church to take the next steps in moving into the Biblical model of multiplication!
